Hey Ryan! First of all, this all sounds very promising. In my humble opinion you are vastly underplaying your own skill in terms of design, but that's also why we can trust that you'll recognize amazing design once you see it. Looking forward to seeing what the team working on the design has cooked up 😉 Now, please forgive me for jumping directly into asking for stuff, but... I know this is small thing, but it would be quite nice if the new admin made use of CSS variables wherever it makes sense; colors, font sizing, etc. (Or provided them as an alternative for non-core tools to use, in case it is not feasible to use them for actual admin styling.) The reason I'm saying this is that I've built various admin tools that I wanted to look like the admin theme, and since there is (to my knowledge) currently no simple way to access existing colors etc. in CSS, any non-Uikit elements I've had to "hard-code" to use current styles. This includes the default green/cyan/blue color theme, current spacing and font size practices, etc. As a result said custom elements may look out of place once the theme is updated 🙂 (Just for the record: SCSS/LESS might be an option, but that feels like a lot of unnecessary overhead and complexity where vanilla CSS would easily suffice. I'd really like to avoid that if possible, and to me it seems like CSS variables are an easy and well supported alternative.) Additionally: it would be awesome if accessibility was a consideration while creating this new admin theme. I know it has been considered to a point in the past, but has never been a major goal. Hopefully we can push things forward in this regard in the future. If there's something I can help, I'd be happy to 🙏

maybe i'm a bit late to the party ... 🙂 in an old wordpress instance i'm just transferring into a PW project, i've used a PDF page flip plugin. i found out it can be used also barebone (based on jquery). i just implemented it succcessfully into a PW page with a PDF file upload. it can be found here: https://dearflip.com/ there's a free/lite/non-commercial version here: https://github.com/dearhive/dearflip-js-flipbook maybe it's interesting ...

Things I love: its not wordpress - mostly a security issue this one easily get CMS data and role your own php / frontend to display / do something with it... anything you can imagine modules making is approuchable (though could do with a good user guide as they're changed quite abit over the years) community is great! doesn't break, or need upgrading very often

Work continues on the new processwire.com website. I’ve nearly finished developing most of the modules directory this week and next week will be working on the development side of the API reference and sites directory. Some more good news to share is that when the new site launches, the new admin look and feel will launch as well. The website and admin share a similar design language in some areas, and I’m confident you will love them both. When we use screenshots of ProcessWire in the new site design, they will be from the new admin look and feel. It is still admin AdminThemeUikit, but with a new face that is beautiful, modern and professionally designed. I’ve been using for more than a week and it’s fantastic in my opinion. If for some reason you end up wanting to keep the current look of AdminThemeUikit (perhaps a client doesn’t like change), it will remain as an option too. If you are extending AdminThemeUikit or using the admin.less feature (developed by Bernhard) to custom style the admin, all of that will continue working too. What will likely be changing is that we’ll be moving the older AdminThemeDefault and AdminThemeReno out of the core and into the modules directory. I’d rather keep the core efforts focused with AdminThemeUikit, but continue to support the older admin themes as installable options. Prior to this, most of what you’d seen in ProcessWire’s core admin and website has been designed by me (excluding AdminThemeReno). And I haven’t worked full time as a designer since 2005 or so. If I ever had any site design skills, they are long gone. So PW has always had a “designed by a developer” look. Having professional designers take over the design of both the admin and the website just feels like a major upgrade to ProcessWire all around. More than I could have guessed. I look forward to when I can share the new site design, admin look and feel, and the designers with you. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Hi @Macrura, I can't reproduce that here. Could you please help with debugging by doing a couple of Tracy dumps after this line? bd($hanna_tags, "hanna_tags"); bd($tag_name, "tag_name"); For the Tracy bar to appear in the dialog you'll need to allow it in the module config, and maybe make the dialog a bit bigger than the default so it's easier to see the dump results.

@Pierre-Luc Even if this issue is from 2015. Did you give Postgres/Postgis a try? What did you end up with?
